This is what drives me crazy. Drivers are happy to see them because they don't want tons of OT. Well when they stop hiring drivers because they use them more and more in the future explain that to potential teamsters that never got a job because of them. Now our teamsters funds dip because we have less union work staff paying into the fund. Do these PVDs even pay dues ? So now we have workforce not paying into the pot for us?
Think of tomorrow not today nuckleheads.
We are thinking ahead into the future. You aren't.
Amazon is growing stronger every year. Fedex is on the decline. The reason why we need PVDs is to give the company the flexibility to get out from under people that can't see the bottom line. The company can't compete with Fulltime RCPDs only. Too much money spent on healthcare, OT, regular hourly top rate wages, gas that UPS pays for itself, etc.....
A PVD driver is like Amazon flex drivers. I understand about having our Union brothers hire more, but we need to be open minded. IF we don't evolve, UPS will go bust against Amazon. Then everyone will lose their jobs as the Company declares bankruptcy. Think it can't happen?
Think again.
